Dark, Unwanted Shadows Between 'leaves' when Rendering in Cycles
I'm posting this just so I can post the pic. You can try this setup and see if it works. It should have a good effect, yet it doesn't seem to do much when I look at it. However, as you can see from the photo, the texture is missing in your blend file so everything is pink. This might affect how the setup is working on my end. Have a try on your project and let me know if it helps.
